Visual Performance & Puppetry Fund 2025

The Visual Performance & Puppetry Fund – a collaboration between Manipulate Arts and Vanishing Point – is dedicated to supporting creative exploration and development in these fields.

We are delighted to announce the artists selected for 2025/2026:

Jack Hunter - Flight of the Pupniks

Flight of the Pupniks intends to be a thrilling Scifi, comedy drama, chalk full of space rockets, and pooch political espionage.

Suzi Cunningham – Inhabitants

Inhabitants will be a solo dance and visual installation about ancient connections, rebirth and rewilding, where lines between all life forms are erased.

Zinnia Oberski + Eric Munday - Buccaneer Bounty

In uncertain times and on uncertain seas, there’s only one thing ye can be sure of – that pirates will always be tripping over themselves (and each other) in their quest for treasure!

Ronan McMahon – Windbags

Windbags is going to be developed as a walkabout clown band trio performance exploring big emotions and inflatable costumes.
